ITAT adjudicated a dispute regarding the nature of receipt of membership and share transfer fees. The tribunal examined whether these one-time fees constitute capital or revenue receipts. Consistent with prior judicial determinations in preceding assessment years, the ITAT affirmed the assessee's characterization of the fees as capital receipts. The tribunal referenced its previous ruling that such fees do not represent revenue income. Consequently, the appellate tribunal allowed the assessee's appeal, effectively endorsing the treatment of these fees as capital receipts to be credited to the reserve fund, contrary to the Assessing Officer's initial revenue classification.
